    I don't think it will take kindly to be dug up and butchered when weather is dry windy and it is in full leaf.
    Better to leave it alone...enjoy it and look for baby ones which may transplant successfully.
    Oh no, I didn't mean now, I was thinking more autumn time when it was done for the year. But if I don't need to, then I'll leave it well alone, I enjoy how happy it is. I've got lots of babies coming up this year, but I'm not sure if they're purple or common yet as I've both in the garden. 

    Thank you for your advice.

    They don't like being moved much either once they're mature.

    Oh, I rescued one from the bin this morning and replanted it! I suppose it's got two choices, live or die.
